Increase in Off-road and Recreational Activities Fuels North America General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) Radios Market
There has been a rise in off-road and recreational activities among travelers worldwide. In April 2022, the Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA), an American franchise of privately owned campgrounds, observed tremendous growth in new campers in the US and Canada. According to the survey conducted by the company, 40% of leisure trips resulted in camping, and ~80% of all leisure travelers choose camping or glamping for at least some of their trips. Approximately 57 million households stated that they went on at least one camping trip last year, an 18% increase in 2021 compared to 2020. The travelers also experienced that camping and outdoor activities reduce stress and improve their emotional well-being. In addition, various off-road racing events are being conducted across the globe. Off-road racing includes trucks, buggies, motorbikes, cars, and other modified vehicles. These off-road racing events are rising due to the growing interest of enthusiasts in adventurous sports that allow them to showcase their skills and vehicles' capabilities. A few racing events that take place in the US are AZOP (Kingman Grand Prix), LEGACY (Baja Nevada), SADR (Tequila 150), and CODE (VW Autopartes Night Race). Such events are conducted yearly due to their growing popularity. These activities are conducted in terrains where the mobile network availability is low and requires a constant noise-free mode of communication, which is expected to generate the demand for GMRS radios.
Further, GMRS radios help individuals or groups engaged in off-road and recreational activities to stay connected in remote areas such as forests, mountains, or deserts. GMRS radios help them connect to users in case of missing driver, mechanical failures of vehicles, medical emergencies, or any other unfortunate events. GMRS radios provide better individual and group safety, contributing to their adoption for off-road and recreational activities. Therefore, the rise in these activities is expected to fuel the North America general mobile radio service (GMRS) radios market growth during the forecast period.
North America General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) Radios Market Overview
North America is a developed region and an early adopter of advanced solutions. The agricultural sector is one of the major contributors to the economic growth of the region. In addition, with the rise in population, the demand for agricultural products for consumption is also increasing. For instance, according to the US Department of Agriculture, agricultural exports in the country were valued at US$ 177 billion in 2021, an increase of 18% compared to 2020. This rise in export activities resulted in increased farm operations to meet the growing demand for agricultural products. Therefore, in the agricultural sector, farm operators use two-way communication radios in large farm fields to communicate farm-related information effectively and efficiently. GMRS radios help farm operators communicate over a channel and act as a cost-effective solution over mobile phones where the communication network fluctuates. Also, the presence of players such as BAOFENG TECH and MIDLAND Radio is fueling the GMRS radios market growth.
